In the mid-2010s, fans were enthralled by three seasons of Daredevil, which delved into the gritty underbelly of Hell's Kitchen, making it one of the best-reviewed Marvel series to date. Thus, its cancellation by Netflix in 2018 came as a huge surprise. Although Charlie Cox reprised his role as Daredevil in lighter MCU ventures like She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home, few anticipated the return of a standalone series. However, Marvel has revived the hero with "Daredevil: Born Again," promising more intense action and grit, now on Disney+.
If you're eager to know where to watch Daredevil: Born Again or want the full episode release schedule, dive into the details below.

Daredevil: Born Again is a continuation of the 2015 Daredevil series, with many of the same characters and plot threads weaving into the new narrative. The exact placement of Born Again within the MCU timeline remains unclear, but since the original series, Charlie Cox's Daredevil has played a key role in The Defenders and made smaller appearances in She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Meanwhile, Daredevil's arch-nemesis, Wilson Fisk, featured in the Disney+ series Echo.
IGN recently explored Frank Miller's original Born Again comic arc, which inspired the new show's title, though the series won't be a direct adaptation. Here's Marvel's official synopsis for Daredevil: Born Again:
Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened senses, fights for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues political ambitions in New York. As their past identities resurface, both men are set on a collision course.
Originally planned as a 19-episode season, Daredevil: Born Again has been split into two parts due to the streaming era's format. The first season comprises nine episodes, with the second season set to feature the remaining nine episodes of the original arc. There's no confirmed release date yet for the second season on Disney+.
Daredevil was part of The Defenders, which followed after Daredevil and included Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. With Daredevil's return, there's potential for the other Defenders to make a comeback. Marvel's head of streaming, television, and animation has mentioned they are "exploring" this possibility in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
